Default NO Lasers were used to shoot down any Satellites by China

The title of this thread is misleading. China used KENETIC ENERGY ballistic missile to destroy one of their aging satellites. NO LASER was used to destroy the satellite.

Now in the second link they spoke about the Chinese using a laser to track a US Satellite.

That's how I read the articles in the two links presented by the author of this thread.
